Having a "browse" button in a GUI?

[sunlord]

Using the Koda form designer how do you get a Browse button next to an Input box so that you can "browse" for a file and when you select the file and click ok the filename of that file is put into the input box?

Now, Does the Autoit can be interact with server that was written in other language, lets say Java?.

Are you talking about something like FileSelectFolder()? That would get the path and put it in an input?

EDIT: Misunderstood question, sorry.

It's a regular button, that triggers a FileOpenDialog. The return of the FileOpenDialog is then read into the Input control (make sure you check for @error on the FileOpenDialog).

As Manadar said it has almost nothing with Koda.

In Koda make only standard button.

Everything else what Manadar said should be in script (not in Koda).

Srex,

You do realise that the post above yours dates from over 7 years ago? In future please do not resurrect threads from this far back.
